The Coercion policy — what will Virginiado?
TheNational Republican,the Washington organ of the abolition Administration, says, in its Thursday' s issue:
"Advices received here yesterday indicate an early attack upon Fort Pickens.
It is believed here that if an attack is really made upon Fort Pickens and vigorously repulsed, that the Union men of Virginia will sweep everything before them at the approaching election in May."
